(D20 Modern) CORELINE: FIREWALLS: EPISODE 1 (IC)

"Yes of course, I have a few places to conduct "interrogations". After that we can send him to swim with the fishes." Vicente says and drives full speed ahead, towards a night club that belonged to him. He'll ask the current owner for a favor he owes him, and use the small rooms on the back part where anyone can hear screams from outside, deafened by the club's music.

Caelin pulls out his duct tape and secures the prisoner at the new location, "Alright now we just wait for him to wake up. Anyone have any skill at this sort of thing?"
 

Seth watched the Anime babe topple over with an emotionless stare. Ducking back into the limo, he said plainly, "TCB, bitches."

Once the prisoner is bound, Seth offers, "Well, If we can find some links of chain, I can make them dance like snakes and sprout razor-sharp barbs which can be quite intimidating. I am willing to bet that Vicente has his own unique flavour of interrogation tactics that I am curious to see."

(OOC: A little houserule: torture inflicts damage, and a bonus to Intimidate equal to half of the damage inflicted. There IS the risk, however, of killing the guy by taking all of his Hit Points and going over his Massive Damage save, which amounts to the same).

-IC: Vincente´s club is near South Lake Union Park, approximately 55 minutes from Waterfront Park (considering the traffic that is now mounting up because of Rush Hour and the fact that the group stops by a tool store to buy chain, rope, and other implements... like concrete).

The ´Cotton Powder Gentlemen's Club' is located on a neighborhood that is full of old-fashioned Fictions. The neighborhood is full of fully functional, factory-fresh 20´s, 30´s and 40´s cars, the people dress up very retro and it almost feels like being inside a silent (or extremely old) movie.

It is a pretty big building, but the Gentlemen's Club part only occupies two floors of it, the two top ones. The entrance is a typical dining room, with a door to the rest of the club. Big Band Jazz sounds from the adjacent room.

The group stands for a short while, and then a man comes close to them. He (and his moxie) are old-timer Fictives, an it shows greatly. The man is all smiles, trying to ignore the Lycanthrope and the Chain Demon (which is something that his moxie is unable to).

"Vincente! How are you doing, bambino?", he says.

"Comme sai amicci, mind my new affiliates." Vicente gestures to his comrades. "All seems in order as usual Luigi, good. I'll need to use the 'gestroom' *wink* for a while."
 

Caelin will help cart the unconscious weener into the guestroom when they are ready. He comments to the chain demon, "You know psychological torture would work better without the risk of killing the weenie."
 

"Maybe," Seth leered, "But is it as FUN?!"

"Seriously, though, I'm not that psychotic. The threat of force is often more effective than the force itself. Or so I've heard. My Staff blast was pretty damn effective, so I leave it to you to prove the other half."
 

Cailan replies with a cat-like grin, "Well we can cut off or break a few fingers or toes to show we mean business, without asking a thing. He will probably start talking just to find out why we are torturing him. Then we offer him a way out, a light at the end of the tunnel if you will, if he has something of value to trade. That should get him talking about what we really want to know."

"It's kind of like beating him with a stick first, then let him offer the carrot to get us to stop."
 

"Amateurs" Vicente shakes his head, and approaches the unconsious man. He slaps him in the face to bring him up.
"Hey! Hey hey hey. You are up? Good." he takes one of his white gloves out, and cracks his knuckles. "We are in desperate need of some information, and you will tell us exactly what we need, understood? Otherwise I'll have to let that." he points at the chain demon. "eat your heart. But not before I get to toy around with you. Trust me, you'll beg for that thing to put an end to your suffering after a few minutes of Vicente Garibaldi's torture."

Intimidate: 24
 

"Yeah... sure.", says the host, noticing the Halloweener being hoisted with the group. "It's on the back."

The 'Guestroom' is little more than a collection of sturdy folding chairs and a table, in a well-lit that has thick walls and you can barely hear the music that is playing nearby. There is some dust accumulating, and minor black splotches on the floor, but aside from that it is pristine.

The Big-Band Jazz stops and then starts again, something a little more bohemian. It starts slow, then becomes faster, louder:

The Halloweener turns his head and then spits blood on the ground a couple of times.

"Lookatit. Some 'Godfather' reject. Whut, you think you're Cody Jarrett? One of the Corleones? No, lemme guess: Tony Soprano.", the Halloweener says. "Tell you what you'll get right now. 'You'll get squat. I ain't no rat!', says I."

He doesn't seems to be very certain about that, though.
